Wakeboarding Santas Ride Uluru Floodwaters on Christmas Day

A group of friends celebrating Christmas Day at Uluru came up with a creative way to make the most of heavy rain that fell across parts of the Northern Territory.

GoPro footage shows the friends – all pilots who live in central Australia – wakeboarding along roads in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Embracing the festive occasion, some of them donned Santa suits for the sport.
